New Defender's Study Bible Notes

13:34 love one another. Christ’s “new commandment” of agape love would be rather ambiguous if He had not defined it, since “love” itself is relative. Its measure, however, is “as I have loved you.” His love was altogether altruistic and unselfish, even unto death. Note John 13:1; 15:12,13; Romans 5:8; II Corinthians 5:14; I John 3:16; 4:9-11, etc.
